№15 Jacobo Torsello Tower of Genoese fortress
№15 Jacobo Torsello Tower of Genoese fortress, Medieval defense tower in Sudak, Crimea.
The Jacobo Torsello Tower features solid stone walls measuring two meters in thickness and rises fifteen meters above the fortress grounds.
Built in 1385, the tower formed part of the Genoese trading colony defenses, protecting Mediterranean maritime commerce routes along the Black Sea coast.
The tower bears Latin inscriptions and heraldic symbols that document the names of Genoese consuls who supervised its construction and maintenance.
Visitors can access the tower through the northeastern entrance of the fortress complex, crossing a bridge over a defensive trench.
The tower stands on an ancient coral reef formation, which provides a natural elevation advantage for surveillance of the surrounding territory.
